toolbar problem {Resolved}

[steve_rm]

Thanks for you help

I have used the code below based on what you told me. It works fine.

switch (e.Button.Tag.ToString())

Hello

I have a toolbar with some icons on it. I want to click on of the icons and open that from. But my swich statement does not work, as it asks for a integer.

code below

private void tbrIcons_ButtonClick(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.ToolBarButtonClickEventArgs e)
		{
			switch (e.Button)//problem here, what am l doing wrong
			{
				case "house":
					//Show house form
					break;
				case "village":
					//show village form
					break;
				default:
					break;
			}
		}

many thanks in advance

Steve

			switch (e.Button.Text.ToString())//problem here, what am l doing wrong
			{
				case "house":
					MessageBox.Show("House");
					break;
				case "village":
					//show village form
					break;
				default:
					MessageBox.Show("Else");
					break;
			}

That should work,

HTH,

you need to specify more than just e.Button , eg:

[Color=Blue]private[/color] [Color=Blue]void[/color] toolBar1_ButtonClick([Color=Blue]object[/color] sender, System.Windows.Forms.ToolBarButtonClickEventArgs e)
        {
            [Color=Blue]switch[/color](e.Button.Text) [Color=Green]//[/color] [Color=Green]you[/color] [Color=Green]can[/color] [Color=Green]also[/color] [Color=Green]put[/color] [Color=Green]e[/color][Color=Green].[/color][Color=Green]Button[/color][Color=Green].[/color][Color=Green]Name[/color][Color=Green] here[/color] [Color=Green][/color][Color=Green],[/color][Color=Green][/color] [Color=Green]or[/color] [Color=Green]Tag[/color] [Color=Green]etc[/color][Color=Green].[/color][Color=Green][/color] [Color=Green].[/color][Color=Green][/color][Color=Green].[/color] [Color=Green]
[/color]           {
                [Color=Blue]case[/color] "house" :
                   MessageBox.Show("you just clicked the button with the text ---house!");
                [Color=Blue]break[/color];
                [Color=Blue]case[/color] "village" :
                    MessageBox.Show("you just clicked the button with the text ---village!");
                [Color=Blue]break[/color];
            }
        }
